...Liberalism outlined by Max Lerner in his recent speech comes as an inspiring credo for liberals at a time which they are confused and divided. Unquestionably, today we need a positive program to replace the platitudes that have long posed for true liberal thought . . . Williams--if it wishes to survive these troubled times in good health--in its educational policies and in the temper of its faculty and student body must reflect the currents of positive and forward-looking liberalism...
...question, to tolerate opposite viewpoints, to disdain from actual participation in contemporary struggles. Today Williams is becoming imbued with a new liberalism. Talking in negatives is, becoming unpopular. The fight must be for the preservation of education itself. We cannot see the views of those who attack freedom of speech and thought.

Papal Legate Pacelli, without descending from the high religious plane of the Congress, was more specific about Catholicism...
...things that turn Henry Ormandy into a little imperialist Hamlet are religious neurosis and a lofty recruiting speech by Cecil Rhodes. The foils to Henry's neurosis are women, whom he professes to despise, and South African natives, whom he professes to like. Refusing to touch native women out of religious scruple, he (finally) admits (in torment) that he merely cringes at black skin. As regards white women, he claims to follow the footsteps of St. Paul. But when, on a holy pilgrimage to Rome, he is easily seduced by a sophisticated adventuress, he admits he is more pained...
